IT WAS YOU

WHEN I WAS DOWN AND THOUGHT ALL WAS LOST,
TIMES WERE HARD AND THERE WASN'T MUCH,
I NEEDED SOMEONE TO CONFIDE IN, SOMEONE I COULD TRUST
IT WAS YOU, WHO PICKED ME UP AND GAVE ME HOPE...

WHEN THAT JOB FELL THROUGH AND I CRIED,
WHEN I WAS DISCOURAGED AND LACKED IN PRIDE,
IT WAS YOU, WHO GAVE ME SELF WORTH...

WHEN I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO GO ON,
WHEN THE WORK WEIGHED ON ME LIKE A TON,
WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT,
IT WAS YOU, BESIDE ME WITH A SMILE SO BRIGHT...

WHEN I WAS SURE I WOULD NEVER LOSE WEIGHT
AND I WASN'T FEELING SO PRETTY
IT WAS YOU, WHO TOOK ME BY THE HAND,
AND LOVED ME WITHOUT PITY...

WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY TEMPER,
AND MY WORDS CUT YOU LIKE A KNIFE,
IT WAS YOU THAT SAID YOU LOVED ME,
AND WOULD, ALL OF YOUR LIFE...

WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND AND CONFIDANT,
SOMEONE TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS,
TO BE THERE BESIDE ME WHEN THINGS GOT ROUGH,
AND TO KEEP ME FROM FEELING LOST,

WHEN I NEEDED SOMEONE TO LOVE ME,
WITHOUT CONDITION OR SELFISHNESS,
WHEN I NEEDED SOMEONE TO CARE FOR ME,
AND TAKE THE LOAD OFF OF MY CHEST,
IT WAS ALWAYS YOU.

DEDICATED TO MY WONDERFUL AND LOVING HUSBAND OF 28
YEARS. I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS
BEING THERE.
